Thanks for posting the full scan of this issue. You can get a pretty good idea of the expected-proper interests of middle-class American housewives of this era. This title is completely forgotten today, but had an interesting history. In the early years of the 20th Century they were printing a million copies of every issue, so its influence must have been substantial. There's a good selection of later cover images here on the Archive, in the Magazineart.org collection. Or you can go directly to see them at http://www.magazineart.org/piwigo/index.php?/category/34
